Attendance non -compulsory from 30th March

Today, the Government has announced all public schools in Western Australia will remain open until the end of term – Thursday, 9 April 2020. 

However, families are now encouraged to keep their children at home if they have the capacity to do so.  The Department’s learning from home resources are available to them.

What this means for your school is:

• From Monday, 30 March to Friday, 3 April all children who attend school will be taught as normal.
• The following week (6 to 9 April) teachers and education assistants will prepare teaching programs for Term 2.
• During this time (6 to 9 April), students who attend school will be supervised.

The Government recognises there will still be families who need to send their children to school to continue their learning during this period.  These may include:

• Children of parents and carers who need their children to attend school to maintain employment.
• Children who live in families with aged relatives.
• Children where it is safer for them to be at school.

As a school we will start working on our distance learning packages for students at home- stay tuned for updates via the website and CONNECT
